Indie music available to podcasters
The BBC reports
Songs by acts signed to UK indie record labels are to be made available to podcasters on a trial basis.
The Association of Independent Music is selling six-month worldwide licence deals for its members' music to be used on download radio programmes.
Podcasters will buy licences to access a fixed list of labels' music. Commercial broadcasters will pay an additional percentage of their revenue.
Acts signed to UK indie labels include Franz Ferdinand and The Prodigy.
Previously, few podcasters were able to get licences to use copyrighted material, forcing them to either use copyright-free songs or remove all music from podcasts.
